The two programs are not compatible. ​ When you switch, you will not be able to use EBUScore to access your old sessions that you scored using ScoreBridge,​ nor use your existing Player Database.\\

It is possible to convert your player database, but it's not an easy process:

It is possible to convert your player database, but it's not an easy process:

If you are a BridgeWebs user, it may be possible ​to transfer ​your player database ​via BridgeWebs:\\

+

* Use ScoreBridge to upload your player database to BridgeWebs.

+

* Launch EBUScore and click on '​Player Database'​.

+

* Click on the '​Player Management'​ tab (top middle), and then on the '​Import PD from BridgeWebs'​ (bottom left).

+

* You will need to have ensured that your Bridgewebs name and password are recorded in the boxes just above.

+

Because the formats of the respective databases are not identical, you might lose some vital information (such as "Club Player IDs"​).

+

+

+

**If you do not have BridgeWebs**,​ or if you want more control over which information gets transferred,​ you can transfer directly via a csv file:

Launch ScoreBridge,​ click on '​PlayerDB'​ to get to your Player Database screen.\\

* Change 'Club Member No' to '​PID' ​- if you do this, though, you need to make sure that **every** player on the list has a player ID

All but the '​Firstname'​ and '​Surname'​ are non-essential,​ But EBU Numbers will be very useful, and if players use 'Club Numbers'​ on bridgemates,​ for example, it would be helpful to transfer these across. ​ Otherwise, any columns not listed above can easily be ignored.\\

Firstly you will be asked whether or not you wish to delete your existing database. ​ If you wish to retain Club '​player IDs' from your old database, then you will need to say '​Yes',​ even if there is nothing to delete!\\

If you do choose '​Yes',​ the '​deleted'​ database will be saved as a backup, and you see a prompt confirming this. If you choose '​No',​ you will get a different prompt "PIDs in the imported file will be ignored"​. ​ Either way, just click '​OK'​.\\

Next you will need to navigate to find the '​csv'​ file that you have just saved - you did make a note, didn't you! ​(It'​s probably in C:​\PairsScorer\Reports)\\
